>Description:
	Filling up a too large malloc-backed mfs disk results
	in a well-reproducible system panic.  While it is bogus
	to give nearly all RAM to a malloc-backed mfs disk, the
	system ideally shouldn't panic either, but return a error
	at some earlier point.

	This issue was initially mentioned in PR bin/87218.

>How-To-Repeat:
	On a machine with 256M of RAM:

	# mdmfs -s 200M -S -M /dev/md0 /mnt
	# cat /dev/urandom > /mnt/foo
	[system croaks and panics in a few seconds]

	Pre-panic and panic messages:

	g_vfs_done():md0[WRITE(offset=124108800, length=131072)]error = 28
	g_vfs_done():md0[WRITE(offset=52543488, length=6144)]error = 28
	[quite a bunch of such g_vfs_done() error messages precedes panic]
	panic: bundirty: buffer 0xc63c78b0 still on queue 1

	Kernel backtrace:
